We have found that student who are serious about their academics and consistently attend study hall hours for supplemental instruction do better in their Math class. We also spend some time during the first few weeks discussing things like time management, test anxiety and procrastination coping skills, effective study habits, campus resources and how to transition to college life successfully.

You get all of those benefits plus:

Prepare for Calculus and STEM courses at NJIT

Acclimate to campus and college life

Connect with your peers and make friends

Be surrounded by a community of like-minded people
